Time Capsule

Hey,
I didnt know if we were supposed to do time capsule or music. So im gonna do both just to be safe.

I like alot of music. The genres i mostly like are hip hop and sosmetimes rap. Some artists I really like are paramore, the veronicas, lil wayne, eminem, Kanye west, flo rida, lady gaga and a bunch others. I also like some oldies such as, foreigner, michael jackson, survivor, bon jovi, cher, journey, the police, heart, rick springfield. I've never been to a concert but I do spend alot of money on itunes. I find like music alot and enjoy listening to it.

If i could choose one thing from the twenty first century to put in a time capsule I wouldn't know what to put. There are so many creative and interesting things from this time. I guess what i put would kinda depend on how long until the capsule would be opened again. I think i would put a USB key containing a bunch of different songs. Some other things i might put on the USB key are pictures of my friends and I, video footage of some of the best basketball moments, mens and womens, and probably some other stuff. I'm gonna think about this for a while and i bet other stuff will some to me. I'll tell you if i think of anything next time.

The last 3 weeks have been good. During those 3 weeks was spring break. Spring break was really fun because i got to go visit my grandparents, aunt, uncle, and cousins in Virginia. They just moved there and i haadn't seen their new houses. Their new houses were really nice and i had a good time. I also rented role models. It was really funny at most parts. In virginia spring break isnt until April. So during the day my cousins were at school and the house was quiet so i got alot of homework done. We were there for 6 days. Spring break was really fun but it felt too short. Schools been good but I cant wait for summer.

Favorite Things

Hey,
I'm interested in alot of things. I really enjoy basketball. I think its really fun and a fun way to exercise. I also really enjoy reading. I think its interesting. The really good books don't take long for me to finish. I also really enjoy hanging out with my friends. I'm not really in any clubs because basketball took all of my time.
Schools been good. My grades have been so much better this semester compared to last semester. I went to the UIL state tournament. It was crazy! There 6 foot 8 girl who could dunk who played for Nimitz. She was AMAZING. She has already signed with Baylor. She dunked during warmup and during the game. She was really good. She was so tall no one could defend her. One of the Pflugerville girls was doing a really good job. The pflugerville girl ended up getting injured though and didnt come back. After that Nimitz broke away and ended up winning.

Love

Hey,
I think it is better to fall in love. I think you will be happier. But i do think people can learn to love. I also think they can be happy but not as happy as those who fall in love. My grandparents had an arranged marriage and learned to love. I know they were nice to each other in the beginning. And overtime I definitely they the learned to love and love each other.

Schools been ok. I ended the 6 weeks with straight A's. I think it has really helped my grade that at the end of school I can stay home and get started on my homework. Classes have been interesting and Ive been learning alot.

Global Warming

Hey,
Global warming is a big topic and concern. People think that because of increased pollution that the ozone layer is being destroyed causing the temperature to increase. I used to think that global warming was happening. After this winter I dont know what to think. It was freezing and then it was in the the 6o's the next day. so it definitely can get cold and then it will also get hot. Global warming is a very controversial topic. I don't know what my school is doing but I do know in California if you drive a prius you can ride in the HOV lane even if its just you. The last two weeks have been good. Sadly basketball season will be over next tuesday. We have had a really great season. Yesterday all the baskteball teams went to hang out at Fuddruckers after the game. It was a lot of fun. At least next week I'll get to go home at 4:15 and start my homework.

Technology

Hey,
I think technology is a big part of our society today. At Anderson other than the cell phone, ipods, and occasional desktop in the room not that much technology is used compared to my old school. There is only one smart board and most teachers use overheads. At my middle school every room had a smart board and there were 3 carts of laptops. Each cart had 22 laptops. Entertainment now a days usually does include at least one piece of technology. At my house I don't know if we would survive without technology. Every one of us has a laptop and there are two desktops. There is also a TV in every room. I don't know if this counts but the internet is huge. What would people do without it? If people have a question their first thought is to go look it up on the internet.

Diversity

The U.S. is very diverse. It is called the land of opportunity. Some go as far as to call it the melting pot because of its diversity. THere arre many different people here. When they come they bring their religion, language, and customs. This makes the U.S. very culturally different. There are many different ways diversity is promoted. Most academic invite only clubs go somewhere regularly to learn the different cultures and religions af the area. There ae also foreign exchange programs. Diversity is suppported and welcomed in many different ways all over the U.S.

My Favorite place in the U.S.

Hey,
I really like the U.S. alot. There are 50 states to choose from. I definitely think those states such as Kentucky, South Dakota, and North Dakota are underappreciated. While those arent my favorite states I feel sorry for states like that that are never talked about. But then again I bet there are less people. I actually enjoy alot of places such as California, Hawaii, Texas, Colorado, Florida,, New York, and Virginia. I enjoy Orange County, California because thats where my uncle lives and its pretty awesome. And who doesn't enjoy Hawaii? Definitely enjoy Austin, Texas. I go to school here and my freinds are here. I enjoy Houston, Texas because thats where I grew up and my grandparents live there. College Station, Texas is a favorite becasue im an AGGIE! And my cousin goes there and we always have the best time! Estes Park, Colorado and the ski range abot an hour away because thats where one of my uncle's vacation homes is and I always enjoy spending time with family. The ski range is awesome because snow tubing, AMAZING! Pensacola, Florida because another one of my uncle's vacation homes is there. Its really cool. Its on the Gulf of Mexico. I get to drive the jet ski there. I have alot of fun there as well. New York becuase that place is just amazing. Its pretty hard to describe. I would definitely put that as a place to go if you've never been to the U.S. or even to New York. And Virginia is where my littlest, funnest, and most innocent cousins live. And Virginia is one of those places not heard about alot but I still enjoy it.
